UK Mated F1 Buckfast queens, grafted from selected F0 breeder queens. Open mated in Somerset.
These queens are calm and prolific honey producers. They expand quickly in spring, producing huge amounts of brood.
Once the queen has successfully mated (2-4 weeks from setting the mating box) we then leave her another 3 weeks at which stage we can asses her brood pattern. Once we are happy that the queen has well mated and her lay is consistent, we will catch her, mark her in this year’s colour.
All queens are caged in Nicot cages with fondant and 5-7 attendant bees. These bees will look after the queen during transit. Queens will be marked before sending.
Queens can be posted via Royal Mail next delivery service.
